I'm not going to say much in this post. I'm going to show two pictures of the aftermath and process of animal abuse, and you let it soak into your mind. Animal abuse is <u style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">wrong</u>.<br />

Now think about it. No one went to help these poor, defenseless animals. They were left to <i>die</i>. Do you want to be that cruel? Start fighting animal cruelty/abuse now!✧Moonstar✧/★Hibari★http://www.blogger.com/profile/16362081020387540750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096854001837888153.post-15139731921185918172012-01-09T02:59:00.000-08:002012-01-09T02:59:57.952-08:00Another Animal Cruelty Case(Guys, we should really start posting again.)<br />
<br />
This is about a poor dog who was forced to submit to the greedy needs of teenagers. The fun-seeking teens placed very strong firecrackers in the dog's mouth, and made sure that he wouldn't be able to open it. And then, well, boom.<br />
<br />
To the teenagers, it was a 'fun' experience, and they went on with living lives without caring. What do you think the dog did? Luckily, he was saved, but is now forced to live with the tragic scars to remind him of this horrible incident. Why are people doing this to animals? Is it fun? <b>No</b>. How could watching poor animals get mutilated be a form of entertainment? This is pushing animal cruelty to its limits.<br />
<br />
Below is a picture of this poor dog. I wouldn't call it too disturbing, but it still is very sad. Humans should work together to help animals, not harm them.<br />

<br />
This post is about Dog Fight awareness. If you dont know already, Dog Fights is a revolting, cruel sport where people with take stray dogs off the street, breed dogs, find dogs or steal dogs like Pit Bulls that can fight and kill. Then they "train" the dogs by trapping them in cages and hitting them. Soon the dog will bite, out of fear or anger, then the person stops. Later, he does it again. It teaches the dog that when they bite, the pain stops. Then they anger two dogs and put them in a enclosure together with seats around the outside so people can watch. They bid money on which dog they think will win. One of the dogs is always killed except on rare ocations. Either the dog's oponent kills him or he is killed later because he did not win/dumped on the streets and his wounds cause him to die. It is a sick sport and is banned in most places, but drugs are banned to, and do people just not do them? NO. Dog Fights can take place anywhere. Back yards, enclosed arenas and houses. <br />
When Dog Fights are busted the dogs go to the shelter and because nobody wants a "blood-thirsty pit bull" or a scarred bloody mess of a dog, they are most often put down. Here is a link about Dog Fighting-<br />

This is my essay for school on animal testing. Feel free to edit and post comments! NO MEAN COMMENTS PLEASE!! I worked really hard on this!! <div><div style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Times; font-size: medium; "><p id="internal-source-marker_0.7507671546190977" style="text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Do you have a pet? A bunny or a dog or maybe even a rat or mouse. Well picture your pet locked up in a cage while someone puts their designer makeup product on it, to make sure its not poisonous or harmful. Not the best picture right? Well you can help, animals everyday are testing for makeup products and different drugs that are not even useful or needed in our lives. If you have a pet, or you know someone who has a pet you understand, even if your not that big of an animal lover, we are animals too, and animals should not have to suffer for makeups companies and cosmetics. Product testing on animals is immoral. </span></p><p style="text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Animals in the lab are treated awfully. During animal testing, animals are infected with diseases, force fed, kittens are purposely made blind and rats are forced to suffer seizures over and over again. Animals have to go through repeated surgery and are purposely poisoned. There is no end to the pain that animals in a lab go through. Animals that are used for drug testing are given diseases and infections, then euthanized, in labs animals are injected with a disease so that the cure can be tested. In cosmetic tests, caustic substances are placed in the eyes of conscious rabbits to evaluate damage to sensitive eye tissues. This is extremely painful for the rabbits, who often scream when the substances are applied and sometimes break their necks or backs trying to escape the restraints. It is inhumane to purposely give an animal a disease or infection or put something on them that will harm them. Animal testing kills 25-50 billion animals a year, and many others are harmed and injured as well. Animals in labs go through endless amount of pain and suffering for useless reasons. Even when they are not being tested on they are treated badly, they are kept in cages that are way to small, and depending on the experiment, they are hardly fed at all. </span></p><p style="text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Products that are tested on animals are mostly inaccurate. Only 8% of the products that are tested are not passed by the FDA and 92% of them end up being harmful, poisonous, or deadly. They can also end up being more harmful then do any good. In 2004 painkillers were testing on animals and it caused 140,000 people to have a stroke or a heart attack, and 60,000 were fatal. For animal testing the highest percentage of animals that are used is rats and mice, even rats and mice tend to have different reactions to certain drugs or products. The age, sex and species effects the reaction. Lethal Dosage (LD) tests are used to determine the amount of a substance that will kill a predetermined ratio of animals. For example during the LD50 test subjects were forced to ingest poisonous products until half of them die. Reactions to LD tests are, eye bleeding, eye paralysis and vomiting. </span></p><p style="text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Some people feel that product and cosmetic testing on animals is necessary for humans health and safety, but there are alternatives. Non-animal testing methods are more reliable and less expensive. These other methods make use of cell and skin tissue cultures, corneas from eye banks, and sophisticated computer and mathematical models. Some companies avoid any testing by using non-toxic natural ingredients or ingredients that have already been safety-approved by the Cosmetics, Toiletry and Fragrance Association. Gordon Baxter, co-founder of Pharmagene Laboratories, which uses only computers and human tissues to create and test drugs once said, “If you have information on human genes, what’s the point of going back to animals?”</span></p><p style="text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Animals are tortured and killed in the labs, and even worse, they are killed for nothing because half of the tests are inaccurate. If there are other ways to test products, why would you use animals. Ways that you can stop animal testing is to not buy products or makeups that test on animals. Let companies that are testing on animals know that you wont buy their products! </span></p><p style="text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; "><br /></span></p><p style="text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">Thanks for reading!! </span></p><p style="text-indent: 36pt; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; "><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; ">~Flamestorm</span></p></div></div>Flamestormhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14629677868677476024noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096854001837888153.post-73631559402501950692011-05-18T05:23:00.000-07:002011-05-18T05:28:41.670-07:00Animal Testing.Hey guys have not posted in a long time but I must for this. <div>I am doing a persuasive essay in school for a writing prompt and Im doing "animal testing is immoral" </div><div>Animals in the lab are forced to go through countless numbers of pain and surgery just so someone can test their designer make up product. 25-50 BILLION animals a year die from animal testing.

They found it on the side of the road and returned it to the owner. When they returned it, the kicked and slapped him. Her family bought the dog.<br />
<br />
A chef in France bought cats from breeders, shelters, and pet store. Then he butchered them and cooked them! He got arrested, and apparently he thought "cats tasted good."<br />
<br />
You've heard about the illegal Burmese pythons in Florida, and how they're killing animals? Well, someone let go their python and it ended up eating a neighbor's cat. If you can't take care of your pet, you can give it to a shelter. If you can't take care of it and its illegal, you shouldn't of bought it in the first place!!!<br />
<br />
People who work or own Puppy Mills force dog to mate and have babies repeatedly, with no concern for the dog's health or social behavior.<br />
<br />
People who own Chicken Factories must cut the beaks of the chickens so they don't fight. They do it for money,<br />
but its actually cheaper to let them outside and keep them happy with beaks than keep them outside and unhappy without beaks.<br />
<br />
Can you just be nice to animals? You're acting like Judd Travers from Shiloh! And he's an awful person! Don't abandon, hurt, cook [animals like dogs, cats, ect. If you're a vegetarian, that's good too, but that's your choice.], or force animals to have babies!

This is my first post, on something I feel very strongly against; Animal Testing.</strong></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">While surfing the web, I came across horrible situation with the Iams Pet Food company:</span></strong></div><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><em><span style="font-size: small;">"For nearly 10 months in 2002 and early 2003, a PETA investigator worked undercover at Sinclair Research Center, a laboratory hired by Iams, and discovered a dark and sordid secret beneath the wholesome image of the dog- and cat-food manufacturer. Dogs had gone crazy because they were confined to barren steel cages and cement cells, dogs were left piled on a filthy paint-chipped floor after chunks of muscle had been hacked from their thighs, dogs were surgically debarked, and horribly sick dogs and cats were neglected and left in cages to suffer without any veterinary care."</span></em></span></div></blockquote><br />
<blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>So,</strong></span></div></blockquote><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em>"After intense pressure from PETA and its supporters, Iams agreed to make the following significant changes in its testing program: </em></span></span></div></blockquote><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span id="goog_1065725821"></span><span id="goog_1065725819"></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><em>Iams agreed to begin conducting humane in-home tests for palatability studies.</em></span></div></blockquote><blockquote><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em>Iams bowed to pressure and severed its ties with Sinclair Research Center. </em></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
<em></em></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em>Iams is said to have ended all invasive and terminal experiments on dogs and cats."</em></span></div></blockquote><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: x-large;">But Even Now;</span></strong></div><div align="center"><em>"Iams still keeps up to 700 dogs and cats in its Dayton, Ohio, laboratory for non-invasive nutritional studies. They claim that this laboratory provides a decent environment for the animals, but they refuse to allow a PETA representative to see inside. Iams claims that some studies are too complex for in-home programs, but PETA urges Iams to collaborate with veterinary clinics for studies such as these. Veterinary clinics regularly see patients who suffer from ailments that a particular dog or cat food might help alleviate."</em></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>What can</strong> <u>I</u><strong> do?</strong></span></div><div align="center">1)<strong> I suggest, friends, to not buy Iams' food for a start.</strong></div><div align="center"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">"Two people are facing animal cruelty charges after the Durham Humane Society discovered a dog in a backyard shed of an Oshawa home.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">A German shepherd was removed from the shed, described as "deplorable" living conditions, and taken to a veterinary clinic for assessment and treatment. The dog was later euthanized due to its severely compromised health.<br />
"In this line of work, we see many unfortunate things but to witness such intentional cruelty and the deliberate infliction of so much suffering on an animal is heartbreaking," says Debby Houghton, animal cruelty investigator with the Humane Society of Durham Region.<br />
Two individuals from the Oshawa area have been charged under the Ontario SPCA Act with permitting distress. The first court appearance is scheduled for May 10.<br />
The humane society would release no further details, and withheld the names of those charged."</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">This is horrible. If you can't look after a pet, don't get one. If you can't look after a pet anymore, don't keep it somewhere you think will be ok for them. Here are some things to do with pets that you just can't take care of anymore:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Find</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> a person that is willing to take care of you pet, but only if you're sure that they will take good care of it,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Ask </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">friends, family and colleagues if they are willing to or know anyone who is willing to take in your pet, only if you check out the new home for your pet first, and finally, if all else fails,</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Look </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">for a trustworthy animal shelter that will take your pet in that has good conditions and places for animals.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">That's all! But remember, if you are still able to take care of your pet, don't give up on them!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />

Also, some people make shoes out of kangaroo skin! How awful is that? Please don't buy these shoes! It's awful enough that they do!<br />

Let's Make It A Month To Remember!As the title says; lets do it! Go out to your pet, somebody elses pet, any animal wild or tame and do somehting kind for it whether it is feeding it, giving it something to do so it's not bored, playing with it or even just giving it a couple pats on the head. Do something nice for an animal--there! Didn't that feel good? Go to your local shelter! Offer to walk a dog, socialize a cat, train one of the animals or even adopt one! Do you have wild bird in your area? Make a bird feeder!<br />
Get a pinecone, cover it in honey, cover the honey with bird seed, oats, barley, wheat, anything you think birds would like. <br />
<br />
Do a good deed for the Month Of April. Spread the word! Help animals everywhere!<br />

It will be considered ANIMAL CRUELTY if you do anything harmful to it.

Well, you can have too many cats, dogs, parrots, hamsters, horses, rabbits, or any pet. When you cannot take care of all your pets, its called Animal Hoarding.<br />
Many of the animals suffer a cruel, sad life. For example, if someone owned too many dogs, starving, wounded, dogs could be one of the reasons not to do it. Many of the animals are not spayed, so many puppies are born, adding to an overpopulation in the world. Many dogs fight, leading to dead dogs. And many of these animals are not cared medically at all. The dogs may have no access to food or water, or they may be fenced outside to live outside. and the excuse "Just one more." is not a good one. One dog could lead to a thousand more.<br />
Animal Hoarders can be charged with huge fines, or even sent to jail. Make sure you only have enough animals that you can care for, not even one over. And get your animal spayed or neutured, unless you are a breeder.These are responsible things for an animal owner.<br />
Here are some things to check if you think you are properly taking care of an animal:<br />
<ul><li>It has access to food and water at all times.</li>
<li>It gets enough exercise.</li>
<li>It does not get in fights with other animals.</li>
<li>If sick, it is taken to the vet.</li>
<li>You give it lots of attention.</li>
</ul>If your pet is sick, here are some ways to make sure:<br />
<ul><li>It's not refusing food. This is a big one, since this is the most obvious thing an animal can tell if its sick.</li>
<li>Is it having trouble walking? This could be a sign of a broken back, leg, or an injured back or leg.</li>
<li>Is it having trouble eating? This could be a sign of it having trouble eating.</li>
<li>Is it vomiting repeatedly? It could just have a fever, or be very sick.</li>
<li>Does it have bumpy or flaky skin? This could be acne and/or a skin disease. It may even be an allergy.</li>
</ul>In any of these cases, your pet should be taken to the vet.<br />
These are just some ways to avoid being a hoarder, but the biggest thing is that you don't have too many animals! You cannot not be a hoarder without lots of animals, but you can go to jail for not properly taking care of your pet.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096854001837888153.post-87161029550662304982011-03-29T15:33:00.000-07:002011-03-29T15:34:18.125-07:00Kittens Saved from OwnersI found this story on the ASPCA website, and it has a happy ending.<br />
One day, <span style="font-size: small;">Kathryn Splittstoeser got a call from her daughter-in-law crying and saying children were carrying dead kittens in cereal boxes and asking neighbors to bury them in their yard. Kathryn got more information on the case and went to talk to the childrens' parents. No one was home when she went there, but many kittens were running around. Many had long, matted fur and were filthy. They had no access to fur or water. Kathryn called the local vet, and was thanked in a phone call and told the kittens were up for adoption. She, of course, adopted one and named it Sassy.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
The beginning is sad, but the ending is happy. The kittens didn't suffer anymore, and that's what's important. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096854001837888153.post-50730476374908700912011-03-29T09:55:00.000-07:002011-03-29T10:03:13.824-07:00Animal Cruelty<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Ok, so there have been a few times that people that are authors of this blog have been posting about things that have nothing to do with animals. That "Death to Muffy 1999" was REALLY stupid so I had to delete that author from the blog until they want to post something about animal cruelty. This is not a news blog or a blog where you can post random things. If you want to post about the disaster that is going on in Japan, then make a news blog but DONT post on this <b>animal cruelty blog!!</b> I bet I know what your thinking too, That right now im being a HUGE hypocrite and even I can see that i kinda am, but I just want to point out that we cant post things thats not about animal cruelty other than important announcements that would usually come from the owner of the blog who yeah i know, posts nothing, never comes on the blog Blah blah blah. But I'm still getting a little annoying at the people who are going off topic in there posts and posting about things that have nothing to do with animal cruelty, and if the person that posted the "Death to Muffy" thing I am SO confused about why you posted that... <div>Thanks!! </div><div>P.S no bad comments I am EXTREMELY disappointed that so many people are so mean in there comments!! If you dont have something nice to say dont say it!!

Here's what I want for a birthday present:Tigers being saved! So please donate just a few dollars to National Geographic or the World Wildlife Fund. It is estimated only 3,200 tigers are left in the wild. South China Tigers are extinct in the wild, and three subspecies have already gone extinct. We need to save these beautiful creatures, or many of us will never forgive ourselves. Tigers aren't necessarily my favorite animals (Dogs, hamsters, owls, and cats<---This is counts as the tiger family), but I do really like them and couldn't ever go outside if they went extinct.

As I type this, an animal is in the room where I type. They do the same as I do, and they are writing this as well. The animal is myself. I feel emotion and feel pain. I think one of the reasons why people abuse animals is simple: They do not understand animals feel pain or that they have emotion. Animals emotions does not necessarily mean that they feel the same emotions as us, but that doesn't mean they don't. Here's how I know: If you annoy a dog, it growls at you. It's not necassarily mean it is dominant over you. It just means it doesn't like what you're doing. Here's another example: If you pet a cat gently, the cat will purr. It purrs to show you that it likes what you're doing. If you do something the cat doesn't like, like surprising it, it will hiss at you. It doesn't like what you're doing. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The only thing you need to understand for animals is that they do have emotions. Not always human, but still emotions. Please, please never abuse your animal! I might be doing it a presentation for Animal Cruelty. I will be sure to mention what I have written, plus many other things, like stories and forms of animal cruelty.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Bye and never abuse,</span></span><br />

Some have earned terrible reputations, and others only mild. Some people think we can help them, while others think we cannot. Some of the animals below are pets, while others are wild. Here are three animals that are misunderstood.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"></div><span style="color: blue;"> 3. Hedgehog</span><br />
<div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://www.hedgehogclub.com/images/group1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://www.hedgehogclub.com/images/group1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span style="color: blue;">Hedgehogs are thought to really hurt because of their sharp spines. These animals aren't really that misunderstood, but you must agree that many people think their spines hurt. The truth is, no, they don't. I guess if you quickly put your hands on it, it may hurt, but if you do it slowly, it won't hurt!</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"> 2. Bats</span><br />
<div style="text-align: right;"><a href="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=700001227880&id=68b3254e2f41225895605e9ee0b0e3b1" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="146" src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=700001227880&id=68b3254e2f41225895605e9ee0b0e3b1" width="200" /></a></div><span style="color: blue;">Bats are thought to be vampires and sometimes even bad luck. The truth is the opposite. These animals are good luck, and are not at all vampires. Little Brown bats can eat up 6,000 bugs in one night, like mosquitoes. So, are they bad luck now? Not all bats eat bugs, though. Some drink blood. However, there's not a big worry there going to suck your blood. The like to drink the blood of cows, pigs, and other ungulates. Other bats eat fruit. They look like dogs, wolves, and foxes, earning them the nickname "Flying Fox".</span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">3. Pit Bulls</span><br />
<a href="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=525553048704&id=c36ef7e4a14a41370675dc77267cd204" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ts1.mm.bing.net/images/thumbnail.aspx?q=525553048704&id=c36ef7e4a14a41370675dc77267cd204" /></a><span style="color: blue;">Pit Bulls are possibly the most misunderstood animals of all. I used to be scared of them, but one story certainly lightened up the way I thought of them. A woman and her two year-old were walking home from a playground when a man held a knife to them and said not to make any noise. A pit bull lunged at him. The pit bull didn't hurt the man at all, but showed aggressive signs toward him. The man ran off, and the pit bull saved the two. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">I still understand they can attack, because they have something called "Lock jaw". This means when they bite you, their jaws can get stuck. However, they are generally loving dogs. You can see they can be great dogs. The pit bull above was named "Angel", because he saved them. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">And there you have it. Animals that are misunderstood. Well, I guess I should show one last picture I couldn't resist. It's of a baby hedgehog, and I just can't resist baby animals! You can see the pit bull is a puppy too! So here's the baby hedgehog!</span><br />

That's what we call Thursday at our school. So hug your pet, whether it's a horse, dog, or cat, maybe even rabbits! I don't really advise hugging hamsters and animals about their size, but pet them! So hug your pet all over!

Here was there comment:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I agree, this is bad, but you didn't even say what we can do to HELP, except report to the police, and that's really obvious!!!<br />
<br />
My little sister came home from school the other day saying "I want to help prevent animal cruelty!" so I took her to the computer and showed her this blog. She read the last couple of posts, and burst out crying uncontrollably. She was very upset for the rest of the night, and she said she didn't even see anything that would help animal cruelty. PLEASE put more about PREVENTING it in your posts, understand? My mom suggested reporting this to blogger, and I refused to do this! I will if it's necessary!!!!!!!!</span><br />
Well, so I decided to give them what they wanted. Here are some ways to help abused animals:<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Inform</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Tell people the causes of animal cruelty, cases of animal cruelty, or how to stop animal cruelty.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Report </span><span style="font-size: small;">Report any cases that you think the police did not know. This way you could be saving an animal's life, even if it's your friend's pet and they're the abusers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Donate </span><span style="font-size: small;">Donate to your local animal shelter, the ASPCA, or other organizations.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Adopt</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Adopt an animal from a dire situtation. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Spay/Neuter</span><span style="font-size: small;"> Spay or neuter your pet unless you breed for a living.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Volunteer </span><span style="font-size: small;">Volunteer at an animal shelter.</span><br />
There are just some ways. Since I don't have complete control over this blog, anonymous, maybe you should report it to the Lead Blogger, who I think is Flamestorm, but thank you for telling me. If your little sister eats meat, tell her she can help by not eating an old meat, so mostly grass fed.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096854001837888153.post-13432219079380738752011-03-04T12:34:00.000-08:002011-03-04T12:34:10.022-08:00Some AWFUL Cases from the ASPCA<div style="color: cyan;"><span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: blue;"> Bella the Chihuahua</span></span><br />
<div style="color: blue;">Apparently, a man named <b>Frank Coppola</b> was charged for beating and killing his girlfriend's 3 year-old Chihuahua named Bella. This happened a few after the dog nipped his finger, and when Coppola's girlfriend's roommate saw the dog's body, she rushed it to the hospital, where vets say that Bella is officially dead.</div></div><div style="color: blue;">Coppola said that the dog had run into a wall, but the injuries do not suggest that.</div><div style="color: blue;">A necropsy showed that Bella had severe trauma to her chest, internal bleeding, a ruptured jugular vein, and bruised lungs.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> Sparky the Pomeranian</span> <br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">A woman was going down the elevator with her 9 pound pomeranian, Sparky. She was charged for animal abuse, but she plead guilty.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Unfortunately,the elevator survillance cameras showed 31 year-old <b>Tiara Davis</b><span style="color: blue;"> kicking her 4 year-old dog. Tiara was, as the article said, angry because her dog urinated on the floor. In fact, Davis hit and kicked Sparky so hard that he was knocked out. She was charged with animal cruelty, and so her dog was turned over to the ASPCA, where he is/did recover. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"> The Cat Nextdoor</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">In Florida, <b>Margret Fowler</b> was charged of using a mallet to kill the neighbor's cat. Fowler was a vet, but a neighbor saw her hammering a cat serveral times with what looked like a mallet. Fowler than dropped the cat between the two houses. The neighbor approached the cat, realizing that it was her and her boyfriend's cat. </span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">When Fowler was chargered, she said the cat was hit with a car and pulled itself there, between the houses. She said she had just tapped it to confirm its death. </span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">A necrospy was tooken place and showed that the cat had not been hit by a car, but beat with a round, blunt object, mostly having blows to its head and stomach. </span></span> </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: blue;">These are awful. Please report ANY animal cruelty information to the police. Only ONE animal actually lived in an of these, Sparky!</span></span></span><br />

The ASPCA rescued over one hundred neglected horses from a farm in Arkansas. There were many dead and sick, most had unhealed wounds and bone fractures. The horses were starved and had no water. The man who had owned them bought horses at acutions and sold them to the public. He is most likely to have more than 100 counts of animal cruelty. This is very sad and all the rescued horses are being treated on site. I hope I never have to hear a story like this tragic event again.<br />
